On the night of September 2$ someone drove up to the residence of Wesley Oates, In a auburb of Jrvlngton, and called him to the door. A voice from a hack standing at the curb Informed him that the body of his daughter1 Glendore, who waa burled a few. days before in the Anderson cemetery, had been stolen, and he would find It at the Cen tral College of Physicians and Surgeons. Mr. Oates made an Investigation the next ,day, but when he dug down to the pine box the other known to bo true, and both noti fications being made In the same way. and, presumably, by the same person. caused the police to take up the subject, but nothing further developed. Early one morning, several days later, At torney Cronlnger called at police headquar ters and asked to aee Detectives Asch and Manning. When stone with the detectives ha said that he had a very peculiar case on hand and wanted It investigated. It ap peared that his client, Ous Habich, a dealer In guns and ammunition, had sold four guns to aome negroea, and that Dr. Alexander, demonstrator of anatomy at the Central College of Physicians and 8urgeona, and Dr. Frank M. Wright, who held a similar position in the Eclectic Medical college, had become surety for the negroes when they purchased the guns; that the guns bad been pawned at Mantel's pawnshop, and that the pawnbroker refused to give them up. Ha bich bad brought suit in replevin, and a constable had the property in hla posses sion. The attorney wanted to .know what relations existed between the two demon strators of anatomy and the negroes, and for what the four guns had been used. Tracing the Choala. The detectives called at Mantel's and dis covered that a negro preacher named Rufua Cantrell had pawned the guns, and when Hablch's was visited the dealer told them that Drs. Alexander and Wright had be come surety for the price of the guns, but they had not been paid for, and because of this he hsd taken out a writ of replevin. Cantrell was known to tho detectives as minister, but also as a man who waa In the habit of Imbibing quite freely, and he was found at his home and taken to the station house. When asked regarding the property that he had pawned, and informed that he was suspected of having robbed the grave of Stella Mlddleton, Cantrell broke down and made a complete confession, in which he Implicated nine other colored men. Dr. Alexander and Dr. Wright. Both of the physicians were arrested, and the negroes were found skulking at different places and were soon In confinement. Cantrell said that Dr. Alexander kept a watch over the death returns at the City Board of Health and notified him. He re ceived $30 for every body, and had made $420 since July, and the other membera of the gang had made as much as he. He did not know just how many graves had been robbed, but he said that he and seven others had been In the business for two years. ' Tool ef the Leaders. The lightest punishment in the ghoul cases is expected for Rufus Cantrell. This Illiterate, corpulent negro, whose low-mind' edness cauaea him to glory in his achieve ments as a ghoul and who prides himself on being the leader of a gang of ghouls and the exponent of their methoda. Is mak ing Jt possible for the state to prosecute the persons responsible tor the grave rob beries. By his information and suggestions to Detectives Asch and Manning, who have conducted the investigation from the start. SERVICE EIGHTY YEARS AGO Dracoiio Regulations Prevailing in Bcotlaid Eailj in Last Century. WHIP AND JAIL FOR FEMALE SERVANT Omaha Maa Shews How Domed Ic Help Was Dlarlallaed la the Laa o Cakes la His Grand father' Day. In these days when women congregate in club and home for the purpose of con sidering that broad subject known as "th servant girl question," and the jokesmlths are prone to depict tho terror under which the head of the family labor when he ha occasion to complain of the action of the cook, it Is Interesting to note that but a few year ago. In one country at least, con dition were different and that the servant question was then regulated by the law. A glimpse of the conditions which existed In rural Scotland In the first halt of the nineteenth century is given by a letter written by a person believed to be an offi cer connected with the enforcement of th poor laws of Great Britain at that time. The letter was found by John Smith of the firm of Robert Smith Sc. Bro. on a re cent visit to the home of his ancestors in Scotland. It was addressed to his grand father, who then resided In the parish of Kincardine O'Neil. It was written July 2, 1821, and Is as follows: "Dear Sir I am exceedingly sorry to hear that M. Robertson has been behaving so very 111 especially In disobedience to her mistress nay, It seems that she ventures to give bad answers, etc. I designed to pas your way In going to or returning from Aberdeen and to have administered a little wholesome discipline to her, but my time would not permit, but I shall be with you a aoon a possible along with a horse.1 lash. However, Mr. Milne of the Poor'a hospital says that he will cane her affec tionately and desires you to send her In to him In a lime cart, and that he will clap here into Bridewell for a month or six weeks, and, further, that if she will not go peaceably that he will send an officer to search for and take her by force. He says that he is warranted to do so, and desires you positively to let him know of the first offense. Now, If you have any bad herding, bad language or bad behavior of any kind you will be to blame yourself. Either let Mr. Milne or me know and she shall soon suffer for her folly. "But, after all, I beg of you out of leni ency to an orphan, you will be so good as to warn her of her great danger. Tou can tell her, what la true, that her head will be shaven, possibly put to the neck in cold water till nearly drowned, and for meat ahe will get but little of that. Thus she will have It In her power to save herself.

Nay, If you allow her those men expected to be arrested, have been secured. His talks to the detectives. and voluntary trips to the graveyards to substantiate his assertions, have brought to light all of the evidence which waa sub mltted to the grand Jury. Cantrell's stories and descriptions of some of hi grave robbing expedltiona are interesting in their gruesomenesa. To the police and the public at large his tales of the systematic methods are surprising. He has explained some of his code of signs to the detectives. He has even given exhibitions with other ghoul before Superintendent of . Police Taffe of hi manner of taking bodies from their graves. Placing one of the smaller ghouls over hi back, Cantrell thrust his left arm under the shoulder, and, crouch ing, skirted about, at the same time say ing to the other ghoula: "Keep your eyea skinned, fellers; keep "em skinned good, and, rushing forward, deposited the ghoul in an Imaginary wagon. Cantrell Intimated that he and the other negro ghoul were but the tool of a more intelligent person. This person 1 thought to be Dr. Alexander, who la known to have called each day at the office of the city Board of Health and copied all death re turn. Cantrell, In further admissions, said dear air, I remain, I V ALEX BIRNIE." j "JtjV to go on thua you will be guilty yourself of a heinous sin.

A night or two later a hack atopped In front of th horn of John Mlddleton, and he also was called to the door and notified that the body of hla daughter Stella had been stolen and was at tho Central College of Physicians and Surgeons. The grave waa opened next day and the truth of the state ment was verified. A search of the college led to th finding of the body, and It was reburled.

Father Boullllon, a Canadian priest, la said tlan commercial travelers for mutual im provement and for helping others, now has 2,500 members. The noclety was organized July 1, 1S99, with three members. Christian Scientists from every part of the country are sending contributions In liberal sums toward the t-',uoo,uoo building to be put up In Boston for the so-called mother church. Some small gltts are also coming from abroad. The clergy of Connecticut have presented Bishop Brewster with a beautiful pastoral cross and chair, as a tribute of their affec tion and esteem. The center of the cross is ornamented with a beautifully cut ame thyst. President Eliot of Harvard In his address at the Boston Methodist ministers' meet ing expresyed the belief that there Is "too much Intellectual and emotional work by the minister or preacher and Sunday school teacher, calling for too little personal exer tion by the congregation and pupils." An Interesting experiment was made re cently In an English town when nine cnurchea and parishes co-operated In one church army mission for the whole town.

Pond lilies have special stamen and pistil, and popple have a natural seed cup and made pistil. One thing may be mentioned a being a great addition to any scheme of decora tion, and that Is to purchase a good sized bunch of maidenhair fern and dip It Into a kettle of hot water where an ounce of beeswax has been melted, lifting It out slowly. This coats it and preserves It In definitely. A spray of this with any kind of flower adds greatly to Its delicate beauty. Without diagrams It Is not easy to teach any one bow to make all flower of tlsau4 paper, but there are three so easy to do tbat simple directions can be given, and a the beginner succeeds with these she will be able to branch out with other. Lamp shades and candle shades are far easier to make than one can Imagine until the work 1 tried. It look so complicated that women are afraid to venture. To make a chrysanthemum take on sheet of paper and fold It o that It will form six Inch square. Cut those Into circles, a doxen folds at a time. Then cut the petals don-n to within one Inch from the center and point them as they are In nature. It re quires twelve of these fold for a medium sized flower, and eighteen tor a large one. Take three ef th clipped circle and place them together on the cushion and with an Instrument Ilk the pointed handle of a toothbrush begin at th ttp of the petala and bear down hard on the Instru ment, drawing It toward you to th center. The petal will curl up and be beautifully veined. Do thi until all are curled. Take a wire tea Inches long and wind one end around a bunch of yellow cotton so that It la very solid. On this depend the solidity of th finished flower. Then pull the curled circle apart, taking car not to uncurl them, and punch a hole in the middle ot each. Paste th cotton all over and trine one circle, holding th flower In Th left hand upside down and work'"; the curved petal up against th cotU- After thi ao more past I needed i.". th calyx I put on. String all th other, working each gently with th hand until the petal all curl Inward. When they are all on, cut a round piece of olive green paper and notch the edge; paste the Inside and push that up against the flower. Bend the wire and hang the flower upside down In a safe place to dry. ; Cut several long strips of the green paper I for winding the stems. Cut four leavea for j each chrysanthemum, except where the I flower la to decorate a lampshade, when no leaves are required. Cut wires six Inches long, paste them and lay them along the middle of the leaves, pressing them down with the fingers. These can be cut after the real leaf. All foliage Is better when cut according to nature. A pattern can be ' taken once and will serve always. Thi also Is true of the petal. When the leaves are dry take the long strips, dab a bit of paste on the end, faaten that to the calyx and begin to wind It round and round downward until the wire I cov ered. Thi require a little practice, but can be done. All stems of all flower are wound the same way, and all leave ex cept carnatlona must have the wire for mid rib. A bud can be made to go with each flower by squeezing up a few petals snd finishing them with calyx and stem. When the leave are dry wind them to the main stem. Carnations are made by cutting scalloped circles, notching the edges and cutting out ovals near the middle. Twist a little cot ton with a wire, string the circles and squeeze them, add the green calyx and wind two long narrow leave ot crepe paper In with the main stem. Rose are made by taking thre strip of paper and winding them around a center made ot wired cotton. Tie with linen thread as you wind. When th strip, each three inches wide, ar all on, slash the top, trim the corner round and curl the petal thus formed with a knife. Calyxes ar mad of crepe paper, and th stems are wound with two or three spray of leave. Bud have on atrip, and th calya 1 nearly closed around th bud.
